This paper reviews the potential of microorganisms to transform polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs). In anaerobic environments, higher chlorinated biphenyls can undergo reductive …

It is more than 40 years since the environmental contamination of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) was first reported in wildlife samples. Since then, a huge number of papers on PCBs …

The review deals with transformation of natural and synthetic aromatic compounds by fungi
(causative agents of white rot, brown rot, and soft rot, as well as soil filamentous fungi). Major …

In recent years, microbial degradation and bioremediation approaches of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) have been studied extensively considering their toxicity, carcinogenicity …

Soil contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is a problem faced in many
countries as a result of rapid industrialisation. The suitability of Fenton oxidation for …

Environmental pollutants are a serious concern worldwide because of the hazards they
pose to the health of humans and animals. An estimated 80 billion pounds of hazardous …

The aim of the present study was to compare the degrading capabilities of eight ligninolytic
fungal representatives towards a technical mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (Delor 103) …

Selected strains of three species of white rot fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus, Phanerochaete
chrysosporium and Trametes versicolor, were grown in sterilized soil from straw inocula. The …

Intensive industrialization generates hazardous wastes comprising organics, inorganics,
heavy metals, and munitions that need to be tackled in a safe manner. Commonly employed …

White-rot fungi (WRF) are ubiquitous in nature with their natural ability to compete and
survive. WRF are the only organisms known to have the ability to degrade and mineralize …
